Ep 92: Isobelle Ouzman - Altered Book Artist

October 04, 2023 • Angela de Burger

Isobelle Ouzman alters books to create an alternate reality for what goes on between the front and back covers. She creates detailed three-dimensional scenes that unexpectedly but instantly capture your imagination.

She uses multiple techniques including paper carving, drawing and colorizing the pages. To create the 3D aspect, she has to think about the many layers of paper within the book and how she can sculpt them to reveal the scene she knows lies within. That might be an enchanted garden, or an owl tucked into a hollow in a tree. They are magical.

On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Isobelle about how she developed her considerable skills, the stories she tells through her altered book designs, her creative process when making a new piece, and why she loves being an artist.
